Nashville-based country artist Robby Johnson has revealed his latest emotional ballad, “You Pick The Flowers,” released on August 1, 2025, through The Nashville Record Company. The mid-tempo country ballad, available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, draws inspiration from a poignant lost wedding dream and serves as an emotional prelude to his upcoming album rather than its official lead single.
Johnson, who has amassed over 10 million YouTube views and nearly 8 million streams across his career, crafted lyrics that vividly bring to life an imagined perfect wedding moment. The song explores themes of second chances, unspoken vows, and intimate moments that never materialized, showcasing Johnson’s talent for personal and heartfelt storytelling that has become his trademark in Nashville’s country scene.
In “You Pick The Flowers,” Johnson transforms wedding dreams into raw emotional landscapes, cementing his reputation for authentic storytelling.
The release follows Johnson’s recent distribution deal with Symphonic and Dirty Laundry Music for sync licensing, a strategic partnership that supports broader profile expansion and distribution reach for his music. This collaboration enables higher streaming visibility and sync licensing opportunities that will bolster the upcoming full-length album anticipated later in 2025.
“You Pick The Flowers” received an exclusive premiere from Center Stage Magazine, which praised its emotional depth and warm instrumental arrangement. Johnson’s performance energy in the track is reminiscent of his live show comparisons to Garth Brooks and Keith Urban. The track features traditional country elements blended with contemporary sounds, balancing heartfelt lyricism with engaging musical dynamics that complement Johnson’s distinctive baritone vocals.
This release builds upon Johnson’s previous singles including “TGIF,” “More Than You Think,” “Road I’m On,” and the hard-hitting “If Barstools Could Cry.” Media coverage from Whiskey Riff and MusicRow highlights the growing industry attention surrounding Johnson’s work. The artist has been strategically diversifying his revenue streams by exploring merchandise sales and digital platforms alongside his recording career.
As “You Pick The Flowers” sets the emotional and thematic foundation for Johnson’s forthcoming album, industry insiders and fans alike await further single releases and album details from this rising voice in country music whose clear, relatable songwriting continues to capture listeners’ attention. Johnson has also been actively engaging with his fanbase through playlist pitching on various streaming services to maximize the song’s reach and visibility.
